What are facts about the contribution of ancient Rome?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rome developed the arch which was capable of supporting weight more efficiently than the columns used by the Greeks, Egyptians, and others. They also extended the arch into a tunnel-like structure called the vault, and they ran the arch in a circle called the dome. These architectural innovations have long outlived the Romans, and the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC is a copy of a domed temple in Rome called the Pantheon, built by Marcus Agrippa. The arch was also used for bridges and aqueducts. Rather than rely on huge blocks of stone which had to be quarried and transported from a great distance, the Romans developed a kind of instant stone; concrete, which we still use today. The Romans also had hydraulic concrete which hardened when wet. The infamous Roman puppet Herod the Great built a port city called Caesaria where no natural harbor existed. Forms were erected in the water, and the hydraulic concrete was poured into them. Caesaria was similar to the two "Mulberry" harbors used at Normandy in June 1944, except that these were made of preformed concrete cassions which were towed into place and sunk. Although constructed with concrete reinforced by steel I-beam, the modern circular sports stadium was certainly inspired by the Roman amphitheaters which were the most difficult to build of all Roman architecture.

What are the architecture requirements?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

At the very least, you will need algebra and trig. You will also need some calculus to calculate forces/stresses.

It can vary. There are many private schools, art schools, and design schools all over the country in the US. Be careful though. Be sure to research accreditation. Cal Poly is a decent school for Architecture in CA, and their requirements are pretty standard for four year colleges in the state.

First you need all your general ed., then the following.

English Composition - 3 units

Critical Thinking - 3 units

Speech - 3 units

Physics (Trig based) - 8 units

Analytical Geometry/Calculus/Diff.Eqs - 4 units

Architectural Practice - 1 unit

Beginning Design and Drawing - 6 units

Computer applications - 3 units

So if math doesn't scare you, you got it. Check assist.org also to see what you can get done at your community college. Good luck.

What is trabeate style of architecture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

trabeate does not refer to a specific style in the way that "greek" or "classical" architecture would. Trabeate is a term meaning post-and-beam. Two columns holding up a plank would also be called a trabeated span. Very early civilizations have used this system of construction dating back to early Mesopotamian architecture.

What is the average size of a residential bathroom?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Given that this question was posted under Entertainment and Arts, I'm going to assume that this office bathroom is to be used for the purposes of either Entertainment or Arts. That assumption leads to several different answers depending on more specific information.

1. Entertainment -

Situation A: You want to hold a large party in your office, but do not have enough floorspace to hold all your many guests.

Solution: A tastefully decorated bathroom can provide that extra bit of floorspace needed for when your party really gets jumping. The actual space you would need to accommodate above guests would of course depend on the number of guests, but if you go by the assumption that every person requires at least 3 square feet of personal space, more if you think your guests are very particular about personal space, should be safe. Remember, leaving the lid down can give that vital extra square foot or so.

Situation B: You want an office bathroom which is as entertaining as it is relieving.

Solution: This situation doesn't really need any special considerations for space, the standard bathroom size (i.e. whatever is in place now) should suffice. The trick is in how you use it. Flat panel monitors with movies playing take up very little space and keep busy workers entertained for hours.

Arts:

Situation C: Your office bathroom is functional, but not really very artsy.

Solution: Similar to Situation B above, this doesn't appear to need any extra space installed. If you do want it to appear bigger, try opposing mirrors to give that corridor effect. Or for a real kick, build the bathroom inside a spherical mirror. I don't know what that would look like inside, but I would love to find out.

Situation D: You want your office workers to feel as though they're contributing to the world of art by their vry presence in the bathroom.

Solution: Canvases in front of urinals, cameras in toilet bowls.
